The boy called Reece, who wished not to reveal his surname, had been enjoying time out with friends in Penrith Gardens, Estover, on September 25 when he was approached by a group of adults, thrown to the ground and beaten up.

Reece, from Eggbuckland, has ADHD and a serious speech impediment. He sustained multiple injuries from the incident which has left him scared to return to the area.

He was left with a black eye, cuts and bumps to his head, swelling inside his mouth and a suspected concussion.

Reece told The Herald he accidentally hit a window with a stick while playing with his friends, a man then approached the group.

He added: “He said 'what’s going on?' He said 'it was you wasn’t it?'. He said ‘you hit the window’ and I said 'I didn’t mean to'. He said 'I’m gonna break your legs'.
